Concludes the V International Meeting of Rescue ARTE. Held at the military air base of Morón de la Frontera during the 22-25 January. An unprecedented event, which has brought together firefighters and other emergency professionals, both civilian and military, who traveled to the town of Seville from different parts of Spain and other countries.

The meeting, accredited by the University of Zaragoza, was closed by the Illustrious Colonel Chief of the Morón Air Base, Mr. Carlos Pérez Martínez. An unprecedented conference in the world to date, in which professionals from the civil and military fields had the opportunity to work, learn and teach side by side with the same objective: to give the best response to the citizens. We would like to thank the Spanish Army for having opened its doors to us and for having made available to us all the resources, technical and human resources so that the conference could be carried out, demonstrating the high level of our Armed Forces at all levels.
We would also like to express our immense gratitude to all the sponsors, collaborating companies, colleagues and friends who, once again, gave their all so that everything could go ahead.
